What is the implication of showing the red warning core on a WPFR strap?

The red warning core on a WPFR (Webbing Personal Fall Restraint) strap serves a critical purpose related to safety. When the red core becomes visible, it indicates that the strap has exceeded its safe usage limits and may be at risk of failure. This is a clear signal that the strap should be replaced to ensure the safety of the individual using it. The presence of the red warning core is a visual cue specifically designed to alert users to the condition of their safety equipment, making it a crucial aspect of assessing whether the equipment is still reliable for fall protection. Ignoring this signal could lead to serious safety hazards, making it essential to take immediate action by replacing the strap upon seeing the red warning core.
